The Ansco Memo is an American 35mm camera introduced in c1926-27[1], using Ansco's own cassette system - as the 35mm cassettes would not be standardised until 1934.
The earliest version of the Ansco Memo box camera was made of varnished wood. The wooden housings of the later versions were covered with leather.
The Memo features a claw-based film-advance mechanism, like a cine camera, rather than a sprocket system as on a conventional 35mm camera.
